How It Works

Simple! When you build a flow, you no longer have to add the Generic Press task yourself. Since all output flows (plate, film, proofing) must end with a Generic Press task, the system automatically adds one when ever you drag in an output task. To see it in action, do the following.

1. Build a normal flow and add an output device.
An output device may be a generic TIFF device, a platesetter/ filmsetter, or a proofer.

2. Notice there’s a Generic Press task placed at the end of the flow.

Why is this Important?
This simply saves you a step when you build your plans. Because Prepress 7 now supports just one press task, the Generic Press TP, it makes it easy for the system to figure out how to end each flow.
